Dear Sir/Madam,
I have been caught out as a low paid pensioner with a joint income of less than 20k and a mortgage of 77k for the year ending 2014 we paid an extra £212 as I was 65 after April 2014 and as the age related allowance has been scrapped from 10.5k down to £9440 I was caught in this trap.
This year I am paying an extra £100, again due to the loss of the age related PA, many of your readers must have also been caught out in the same way! How can they justify this and give higher rate earners a tax break?
Regards Peter Russell.
